Is it possible to have a Dwarf/Zebra Lionfish with Lysmatas ?
Or they will become food sooner or later ??

Thanks

D. zebra actually feeds more on crustaceans than fishes in the wild, and cleaners may or may not get a "pass". The best case scenario would be to have the shrimp already in residence and established before adding the lionfish. The second best would be to add the shrimp after lights out, near the rockwork so it can hide a bit as it gets used to the tank.

If you have a low loss tolerance, it would be best not to try it, but it might work out for you.
